FAQ
Common questions about residential projects
Often not. Many single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under Permitted Development and need only a Lawful Development Certificate rather than a full application. We assess your specific property and tell you where you stand before you spend a penny on fees — and where planning is required, such as in a conservation area, we prepare and manage the application for you.
In most cases, yes. We work in occupied homes regularly, sequencing the job to keep a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom usable wherever possible, with dust-exclusion zones and agreed working hours. For a full whole-house refurbishment it's sometimes quicker and far less stressful to move out for part of the programme — we'll give you an honest recommendation either way.
As a guide: loft conversions usually run 8–12 weeks, kitchen extensions 10–16 weeks, and a full house refurbishment 12–24 weeks, depending on size and specification. You'll receive a detailed programme with milestones before we start, and weekly updates against it so there are no guessing games.
Yes. On a Design & Build basis we coordinate the whole professional team — including our in-house structural engineers, architects, planning and party wall notices — so you have a single point of responsibility. If you already have an architect, we're just as happy to build to their drawings and work alongside your team.
Absolutely. We can run it as a fully managed package — guiding you through layouts, materials, tiling, joinery and fittings to suit your taste and budget — or simply build to your designer's brief and your own selections. Either way, we'll be straight with you about what looks good, what lasts, and where your money is best spent.
